financial brigands were protected in

his iron grip on Mexico, but when he
was overthrown and their special

Tits market bulletin to be Issued
weekly by Clemson College will serve1
a .rood purpose in giving the people
information that cannot be obtained
by them in a condensed form in any
other way. This information will en?
able sellers and buyers of staple pro?
ducts to keep posted on the lluctuu
tions of tho market in the State and
will have a tendency to steady the
market and prevent wide variations in
prices.
The Curb Market.
As the result of the movement start?
ed by the Suntter Retail Merchants'
Association, a curb market for the sale
of all sorts of country produce will be ;
opened in this city Thursday morn?
ing next. Decent br 17th. Cooperat?
ing with the Itetail Merchants' .Asso?
ciation in the effort to establish a
curb market, or, at the least, to give
the undertaking a fair trial. President
J. Frank Williams of the Sutnb >
County Farmers' Union, and the Civic
League of Surntcr. representing the j
housekeepers, are giving this plan to
bring together the producers and con?
sumers their hearty support.
At the request of tho advocates of
I
the curb market. City Council has
granted permission to use Canal
street, between Main and Harvin, and
llarvln street in the rear of the CourtI
house square, for the i impose until
11 A. M., on Tuesday, Thursday an 1
Saturday of each week, until further
notice.
The plan Is for those who have
produce for sale to assemble at the
place named on market days, back
their vehicles up to the cur?? and dis?
pose of their wares to the housekeei -
ers in a few horns, instead of spending
a half day er longer hawking them
around town from door to door. This
plan will be a time saver for both,
sellers and buyers and will work out
to the profit of both panics, if the
er.perh nee of other place:1 is repeated
In Sumtcr.
It is hoped that u. great variety of
PredtteS will bo offered for sale at the
curb market?vegetables, poultry,]
r^'s, butte*. beef. pork, sausage, coun-.
try haiDH, bacon, peas, potatoes, hi me
Banned fruits and vegetables, In fact
everything thai tin. I own people need
in the Una of country produce, front
turkeys to kindling a.
if ike curb market becomes ostui -
lashed as a permanent Institution II
will be the mart for the sale of)
practically everything that the farm*
? rS Wish tO dtBpOSC Of ai d it will l?c
patronised, not only i>> thohouseek*
ers, 'ut by the men as well who will
purchass or place order.1 for such
st ipte articles as hay. corn, oats, peas
at cord wood*
curb market is not designed to,
nor will it. Interfere with the buslnesi
of those who have regular oustomera
to whom tiny supply butter, eggs or
other produce at stated Intervals,
Those who have regular sustomers
Will continue lo supply them as lure
lofore, and Ins curb market will fur
ntefc an outlet for any surplus tin >
may nave, The curb market will
thus afford the opportunlt) tlmt im<
many housekeepers desire, but do i ot
now enjoy, of obtaining from lh<
bands of the producers fresh vege
tables and other articles e1 food, and
'it will afford Ins farmers the op?
portunlty of supplying many articles
that ere now shipped from Florida
i
and other tftatei In large quantities.
The curb market is a great Idea,
and if n ? properly utilised will koei
money at home and encourage truck
growing, poultry raising and divers!?
Hod farming in ail lines.
The cur - market opens Thursday
morning neat, and II you have any?
thing tu m ill give it a tital.

Ithe awakening of the south
After a five weeks' trip through
the South, making a personal Study of
its bttatnasa conditions, the editor of
Ma> Manufacturers Record in this
week's issue says:
I
j Usprlnted from Manufacturers Ree
01 d, i tecember ;i, 1 y i 1.
Cotton Is now beginning to move.
Farmers are beginning to sell; for?
eign spinners and American spinner*
are beginning to buyj the tinancial
situation throughout the South i;
leasing up, and men are once more
turning their thought away from
stagnation in trade to a doterminatloi
I
to develop trade, Pessimism has
givsn way to Optlsmlsm. The South
lias taught its second wind. It hai
been quickened by the cotton situa?
tion und the world-wide conditions
brought on by war to livelier thought
than for many years, and in every ave?
nue of life, from tue highest to the
lOWSSt, men are thinking more, ami
on broader lines, than for many years.
Many of them are thinking more than
they have ever thought before. The
whole mental activity of the South is
being Quickened, ami out of this will
come g vast amount of good. One of
the results will be the larger develop?
ment of diversified agriculture in the
OOtton-growing States. One will be
greater economy in the development of
business interests. One will be tile do-]
velopment of a general spirit of econ.
omy which will be oi InflnttS value
to every interest in the South. This
spirit will not ISSSSn energy, but it
will quicken energy. It will lessen
waste and develop thrift. It will
tremendously increase the Smith's
power to develop its own resources.
It will stir fanners and merchants
and bankers and manufac turers to do?
ing many things for their own good
which will lead to the broadest de?
velopment of the South., as well as to
their Individual proaperlty.
Then are many sections of the
^outu which will be benefited by the1
high prices of foodstuffs brought on
by the war. A very large proportion
Of the Soui.li does not raise cotton, '
but grains and livestock, and these
sections, like the West, will be en?
riched by the higher prices for all
their products, Tho Virginias, Mary?
land, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri,
Louisiana and a very large portion ot
e very Southern State will, like the
West, share in tho
is to come from hi !
grain due to Europe ?
man 1. Even under
tionii the value of th? totcrail-va
rlcultural products of the South is
more than twice as great as that of
COtton, but cotton has so largely been
the basli of credll in this section, as
stocks and bonds have beenn in Wall
Street, that people have talked in
terms of cotton rather than in term.-;
i if diversified agriculture*
There are sections of the South
Which have not even felt the effect o(
the war, Tic peanut-growing region
of Bastcrn Virginia, with its excep?
tionally largo production of hogs, Is
enjoying great prosperity. The to?
bacco-growing regions of Virglna ami
Carolina, except for the general talk
of Aar. would hardly have known
that war existed, for tobacco.is com?
manding good prices and the tobacco
factories of th SC BtatCS are doing a
big business, tobacco grovers of
Maryland ami Kentucky, whose pro?
ducts arc largely shipped abroad,
have, of course, bad to bear some?
thing of tho enmo kind of burden
thai the cotton growera hnve bad, but
this situation \.iii of necessity lighten
up ia the near future and conditions
will Improve,
The- Manufacturers Record feels
n in malting the assertion that the
profit to the South as a result of those
conditions will hereafter annually ex
coed the loss on tins year's cotton crop
compared with what tin South had
expected to get for it;* cotton. The
(liilckenlng of tie- life and thought of
the whole South, the determination of
?be cotton growers to raise their own
foodstuffs to a larger extent than the.
have done sine?- 1s.;". the mental Btlr
';. nd lit e which has In en given to
? ei, v ill nil < ombine to prodlH ??
wonderful results, Moreover, tin
South, shocked by the begging spirit
temporarily dovelopeel, largely through
political nctlxltles, which made tin
.-'oath appear ><? the world as a beg?
gar section asking alms for Its cotton
growers, has been stirred to Indlgna
;i< ii a i novt r before. Its people have
demanded lhal lltey shall not la
poeed before the world as beggars < i
nu una< le b> meet every problem
which faces them and work it out b
i h< ir on a salvation,

lifo of the South.
Let no one outside for a room :.i
Imagine thai the ?: 11111 is in povert>
i v I hut i!n Bouth will bo halted in its
material advancement. The South Is
not In poverty, it is amazingly wdi,
off. and only temporarily has its finan?
cial strength been tiod up by reason
of its inability to realize on one of
the World's best assets?a cotton crop
that has for some years brought into
this section a billion dollars or more
a year. This cotton Is now becoming,
like the stocks and bonds of Wall
Street, a tangible asset with which,
men tire able to meet their obligations,
giving to all the ramifications of
business the inspiration needed to stir
and quicken business life.
Every business concern In this
country that has been doing business
in the South, or had expected to do
business In that growing section,
ought to recognise the situation and
fully realise that the halting was but i
for a moment) and that out of this
temporary crisis will come a greater,'
a. more progressive, a more energetic
and a richer South.
Every man in the South ought to
draw new inspiration from the pres?
ent conditions and havo a stronger
faith on his own section and In the
way In which it can meet every
emergency. Every man in tins section
with quickened energy of mind and
body should go forward with broad-1
er plans for the advancement of hi*
own interests, whether they he agri?
cultural, commercial, financial or in?
dustrial.
The lesson taught by the effect of
the war will he worth to the South
i
many timer its cost. No one for a mo?
ment need he disturbed by the fact
that temporarily the lesson was a
somewhat drastic one. Every emer?
gency mot or every new crisis faced
and conquered means a broader man
and a broader country. The South
has met the crisis; it has met the re?
sponsibility of the hour, and it will
move forward to mightier achieve?
ments than six months ago would
have been deemed possible to expect
for years to come. The voice of the
awakening South is heard clear and
distinct: Forward?March!
Masons Close Session.
Charleston, Dec. 9.?The Masonic
grand lodge brought its 138th annual
this afternoon, after
i * ; ? nstalllng all officers j
a mass ol' routine
\s meeting.
I Tne mosu important work of the
session was done last night, when the
employment of the income from the
fund for the building of a Masonic
home and all other revenues coming
to the trustees of that fund were de?
voted under the administration of the
trustees, to the relief of needy Masons,
their widows and orphans whe re they
may bo found. This does not mean
that the project of a Musonic home
has been abandoned. On the con?
trary, the most rigid safeguards were
throw ji about the corpus of the fund
of $100,000, which ha; been accumu?
lating for the pas! eight or ten years
for this object, and. there Is a stronr,
sentiment In Ihe grand lod^o in favor
of building Ihe home, It was the gen?
eral < pinion, however, thai the ays
